Kumano Hayatama Taisha

The Kumano Hayatama Taisha

The Kumano Hayatama Taisha (熊野速玉大社) is a Shinto shrine and one of three Kumano shrines in eastern Kii, Japan.

History

From the Middle Ages, the shrine was often known as the Shingū, the "new shrine," and has been rebuilt every 33 years. At the end of the 14th century, it was moved to new pavilions due to civil war. In 1582, the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke visited the shrine and paid their respects to its three smaller shrines. Currently, the shrine has held many items and relics of cultural significance that have remained undamaged and preserved since the Middle Ages.
